"Suuuuure - no way 9 minutes of pressure on a carotid artery - nearly 3 minutes even after he became unresponsive, could have anything to do with it"

"When they tried to put Floyd in their squad car he stiffened and fell to the ground and said he was claustrophobic."

...Then...

"As Lane, Kueng and Chauvin held down Floyd, Lane asked if they should reposition his body.
“Should we roll him on his side?” Lane asked, according to the charges.
“No, staying put where we got him,” Chauvin responded.
“I am worried about excited delirium or whatever,” Lane said.
“That’s why we have him on his stomach,” Chauvin said."

The kneeing wasn't the cause of the suspected Excited Delirium. It was a result of the suspected Excited Delirium.

I’m not saying the knee caused any delirium, I’m saying there’s a good chance it cut off blood enough to severely compromise the brain...9 minutes of no/reduced blood flow could cause serious brain trauma...the almost 3 minutes after he became unresponsive sealed the deal...whether he had underlying issues or not.
